Bug 241656

Spec URL: http://annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/ocaml-csv.spec
SRPM URL: http://annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/ocaml-csv-1.1.6-2.src.rpm

Updated to latest OCaml packaging guidelines.
Built against OCaml 3.10.
Tested against bytecode-only architectures.

This fails to build for me due to a missing dependency on ocaml-extlib-devel.

Added dependency on bug 240655.

      - MUST: rpmlint must be run on every package. [WARNING]

Will approve pending clarification of LGPL version, and addition of OCaml Linker
Exception note to License.

Correction: needs to have an ExcludeArch: ppc64, since the ocaml base package
has an ExcludeArch.

Updated version:

Spec URL: http://annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/ocaml-csv.spec
SRPM URL: http://annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/ocaml-csv-1.1.6-3.src.rpm

* Fri Aug 24 2007 Richard W.M. Jones <rjones> - 1.1.6-3
- License clarified to LGPLv2+ (and fixed/clarified upstream).
- Added ExcludeArch ppc64

A note on the "OCaml linking exception": This is an additional
permission/freedom given to users of OCaml libraries which allows users to
disregard section 6 of the LGPL (the one where a proprietary app has to ship a
relinkable binary), as this requirement makes no sense for OCaml libraries
because of the way they are linked.

Since it's an additional freedom given to users of the library, I didn't include
it in the License field.  Library users may if they want confine themselves to
the additional terms of LGPLv2 section 6.
